PRODUCTION OF HYDROXY ETHER HYDROCARBONS BY LIQUID PHASE HYDROGENOLYSIS OF CYCLIC ACETALS OR CYCLIC KETALS

A liquid phase hydrogenolysis of acetal compounds such as cyclic acetals and cyclic ketals are fed to a reaction zone and reacted in the presence of a noble metal catalyst supported on a carbon or silica support to make hydroxy ether mono-hydrocarbons in high selectivity, without the necessity to use acidic co-catalysts such as phosphorus containing acids or stabilizers such as hydroquinone.

ZrCl4-catalyzed scission of ethylene acetals with organoaluminum compounds

Ethylene acetals and ethylene ketals undergo reductive scission under the action of Bui2AlH in the presence of catalytic amounts of ZrCl4. With Et3Al and Bui3Al, reductive alkylation also occurs.

Deamination Reactions, 41. Reactions of Aliphatic Diazonium Ions and Carbocations with Ethers

Aliphatic diazonium ions and carbocations were generated by deacylation of appropriate nitrosoureas (1, 5, 9) in alcohol-ether mixtures or in 2-alkoxyethanols.Ethers were generally inferior to alcohols in capturing cationic intermediates.Formation of trialkyloxonium ions led to alkyl exchange or ring opening.The observed reactivity orders were n-butyl > isobutyl for the diazonium ions, allyl > sec-butyl > tert-butyl for the carbocations, methoxy > ethoxy and oxirane > oxetane > tetrahydrofuran for the ethers, indicating the predominance of steric effects.Neighboring group participation in 4-methoxy-1-butanediazonium ions (58) and 4,5-epoxy-1-pentanediazonium ions (74) was detectable but inefficient ( 20percent of cyclic oxonium ions).

REGIO- AND STEREO-SELECTIVITIES IN THE TITANIUM COMPLEX CATALYZED HYDROBORATION OF CARBON-CARBON DOUBLE BONDS IN VARIOUS UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS

The titanium complex prepared from TiCl3 and NaBH4 in THF in the presence of 18-crown-6 promotes the catalytic hydroboration of carbon-carbon double bonds in alkenes, alkadienes and unsaturated ethers with NaBH4, giving sodium organoborates which can be converted into alcohols by oxidation with H2O2/CH3ONa.The reaction proceeds with high regio- and stereo-selectivities.
